MIPS: Always record SEGBITS in cpu_data.vmbits

2026-04-18T08:46:42+00:00

commit 8374c2cb83b95b3c92f129fd56527225c20a058c upstream.

With a 32-bit kernel running on 64-bit MIPS hardware the hardcoded value
of `cpu_vmbits' only records the size of compatibility useg and does not
reflect the size of native xuseg or the complete range of values allowed
in the VPN2 field of TLB entries.

An upcoming change will need the actual VPN2 value range permitted even
in 32-bit kernel configurations, so always include the `vmbits' member
in `struct cpuinfo_mips' and probe for SEGBITS when running on 64-bit
hardware and resorting to the currently hardcoded value of 31 on 32-bit
processors.  No functional change for users of `cpu_vmbits'.

MIPS: cpu-features: Use boot_cpu_type for CPU type based features

2023-06-09T07:56:22+00:00

Some CPU feature macros were using current_cpu_type to mark feature
availability.

However current_cpu_type will use smp_processor_id, which is prohibited
under preemptable context.

Since those features are all uniform on all CPUs in a SMP system, use
boot_cpu_type instead of current_cpu_type to fix preemptable kernel.

MIPS: cpu-features: Enable octeon_cache by cpu_type

2023-04-05T07:45:09+00:00

cpu_has_octeon_cache was tied to 0 for generic cpu-features,
whith this generic kernel built for octeon CPU won't boot.

Just enable this flag by cpu_type. It won't hurt orther platforms
because compiler will eliminate the code path on other processors.

MIPS: Octeon: Opt-out 4k_cache feature

2023-04-05T07:45:09+00:00

Octeon has a different cache interface with traditional R4K one,
just opt-out this flag for octeon to avoid run R4K cache initialization
code accidentally.

Also remove ISA level assumption for 4k cache.

MIPS: adding a safety check for cpu_has_fpu

2022-05-04T20:26:02+00:00

There is a chance 'cpu_has_fpu' would still be overridden when the
CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT configuration option has been disabled. So
add a safety check for 'cpu_has_fpu'.

MIPS: MT extensions are not available on MIPS32r1

2021-06-29T08:14:58+00:00

MIPS MT extensions were added with the MIPS 34K processor, which was
based on the MIPS32r2 ISA.

This fixes a build error when building a generic kernel for a MIPS32r1
CPU.

MIPS: Remove cpu_has_6k_cache and cpu_has_8k_cache in cpu_cache_init()

2020-11-19T12:28:58+00:00

Since commit 02cf2119684e ("Cleanup the mess in cpu_cache_init."),
cpu_has_6k_cache and cpu_has_8k_cache have no user, r6k_cache_init()
and r8k_cache_init() are not defined for over 15 years, just remove
them.

MIPS: handle Loongson-specific GSExc exception

2020-07-31T15:52:47+00:00

Newer Loongson cores (Loongson-3A R2 and newer) use the
implementation-dependent ExcCode 16 to signal Loongson-specific
exceptions. The extended cause is put in the non-standard CP0.Diag1
register which is CP0 Register 22 Select 1, called GSCause in Loongson
manuals. Inside is an exception code bitfield called GSExcCode, only
codes 0 to 6 inclusive are documented (so far, in the Loongson 3A3000
User Manual, Volume 2).

During experiments, it was found that some undocumented unprivileged
instructions can trigger the also-undocumented GSExcCode 8 on Loongson
3A4000. Processor state is not corrupted, but we cannot continue without
further knowledge, and Loongson is not providing that information as of
this writing. So we send SIGILL on seeing this exception code to thwart
easy local DoS attacks.

Other exception codes are made fatal, partly because of insufficient
knowledge, also partly because they are not as easily reproduced. None
of them are encountered in the wild with upstream kernels and userspace
so far.

Some older cores (Loongson-3A1000 and Loongson-3B1500) have ExcCode 16
too, but the semantic is equivalent to GSExcCode 0. Because the
respective manuals did not mention the CP0.Diag1 register or its read
behavior, these cores are not covered in this patch, as MFC0 from
non-existent CP0 registers is UNDEFINED according to the MIPS
architecture spec.
